(To) create a space where any sound or texture, technique or emotion is treated as a possible contribution to the piece(s) in hand. The same applies to the interaction of the performers improvisation and integration are left open, until what feels like the right moment, all the while keeping an eye on the whole, and avoiding a forum where concept overtakes content. -- EAR

the children of cathode ray: mantracks
a rare recording from the children of cathode ray, one of the earliest experimental sound art groups in the philippines. there was no documentation on this track but it was probably recorded between 1989 and 1990 at north greenhills and/or scout area. the recording was done bouncing 4-channel open reel and stereo cassette tapes several times, along with grounding exposed PL wires. the last part of the track was what remain of the original tune that was recorded over on the stereo-channel master reel tape and accidentally retained it.
the children of cathode ray was established in 1989 with original members:
tad ermitano on video, visuals, bass, synthesizers, electronics, efx, computers;
jing garcia on audio, synthesizers, electronics, efx, computers;
blums borres on lead guitars, efx, graphics, computers;
peter marquez on lighting effects, electronics, photos and visuals;
regiben romana on percussions, efx;
magyar tuazon on visual effects, bass, electronics
